History
Every Nation was established in 1994 when Rice Broocks, Phil Bonasso and Steve Murrell joined their ministries together to pursue the mission of church planting, campus ministry and world missions.
Previously known as Morning Star International, the ministry was renamed Every Nation Churches and Ministries in 2004 to better reflect the ministry’s vision to plant a church in “Every Nation in Our Generation.”
An additional reason given for the name change was a desire to avoid confusion with other ministries named "Morning Star" or "Morningstar," most notably Rick Joyner's MorningStar Ministries.
Broocks had been president of Every Nation since its founding in 1994 but in 2006 was succeeded by Steve Murrell. Broocks remains as co-chair of the International Policy Council which oversees the policy governance of Every Nation.

“False history gets made all day, any day,
the truth of the new is never on the news

sifting her own life out from the shards she’s piecing,
asking the clay all questions but her own.”
